I'm thrilled to join Host Analytics, the clear market leader that is

on-premise alternatives."

Corporation, where he joined the company as employee number 12 and
helped to grow it to more than 600 subscription customers. Prior to
that, Mr. Walter served as Vice President of Product Marketing for
Business Objects, the BI market leader, as the company grew revenues
from $460 million to well over $1 billion prior to its acquisition by

management, and marketing roles at industry leaders including Siebel
Systems, Hyperion Solutions, and Oracle Corp.
